Telegram Levels and Boosts: The Ultimate Guide to Channel Growth

Every Telegram channel owner knows this situation: you want to publish a Story on behalf of the channel, but you see a message: "Your channel needs to collect N more votes". These votes are called Boosts.

In this guide from SMM Gate, we will break down in detail how the channel leveling system works.

What is a Boost?

A Boost is a vote that can be given by any subscriber with an active Telegram Premium subscription. By giving their vote to your channel, the user helps it accumulate rating and unlock new exclusive features.

Every Telegram Premium owner has a limited number of boosts at their disposal. They can redirect their vote to another channel once a day. If a user's Premium subscription expires, their boost is automatically canceled, lowering the rating of the supported channel.

How is the channel level calculated?

Any new channel starts at level zero. To level up, you need to collect boosts from your audience.

The required number of boosts directly depends on the number of your subscribers:

• Level 1: 0.1% of the total number of subscribers
• Level 2: 0.2% of the total number
• Level 10: 1% of the entire audience

Note: Telegram regularly adjusts these percentages, but the principle remains the same — the larger the channel, the more votes are required.

You can check your current progress in the channel settings: Statistics → Boosts.

What do levels give you?

Each new level expands the functionality of the channel. The main features you get are:

• Publishing Stories on behalf of the channel (each level gives +1 Story per day).
• Custom backgrounds and colors for the channel name and quotes.
• Unique sets of emoji statuses.
• Adding custom emoji reactions for subscribers.
• Customization of the channel cover and message background.

How to get boosts?

1. The Natural Way (Organic)

The most right way is to ask your audience.

1. Go to Statistics → Boosts and copy your unique t.me/ link for voting.
2. Publish a call-to-action post. Tell your subscribers what new features (like exclusive Stories or beautiful reactions) will appear if they support you.
3. Hold contests. Giveaway Telegram Premium among those who voted for your channel (Telegram has a built-in giveaway feature).

2. The Guaranteed Way (SMM Gate)

The natural collection of boosts can take weeks, especially if you have few Premium subscribers. In addition, users can take back their vote at any time.
